Tie southern Women in the Lead.

II is really a matter OF Indifference
whether or not a society leader is in
digenous to the soil, or whether she is
imported from some foreign cline, but
usually there are certain peculiarities Of
either complexion, dress ormapners that
prevent stranger from mingdng IN
New York society for any length OF time
without betrayinS her foreign extrac-
ton. New York society. that is the
ultra-iashionable, may be very exclusive,
but it IS, nevertheless, composed Of
heterogeneous parts. Ii addition to the
foreigners who are admitted into its
charmed circle, each section of this
country contributes its quota Of mem
bers, and the distinctive characteristics
OF each one are as noticeable to :: close
observer as the foreign and conceited
ways Of the British nobility, or the
mincing daintiness Of the over-foppish
Frenchman. We have N'esterners and
Southerners who are easily distinguished
from the genuine Gotnamites, although
they have been so closely connected with
New York society in its doings for years
past they are generally recognized
throughout the country as genuine New
Workers.
The Southern women are counted
among the most beautiful and cultivated,
and their soft voices and gentle manners
have won for them much praise, especial
ly this winter, during which they have
been prominently to the front as enter
tertainers. Everyone who meets Mrs.
Algernon S. Sullivan is charmed with
her grace of manner and beauty, al
though few know that she is Southerner.
Mrs. Brockhoist Cutting is one of the
most popular of matrons, and IS Il Vir-
ginian by birth and rearing. Alrs. Bur
ton Harrison, as IS well known comes
from the same State. She was Miss
Cary, and is connected with the Fair
faxes and Randolphs. She represents
the literary women OF the South. Mrs.
Edward Lees Cofey, whose pretty
daughter Lucy is Just now a very promi-
nent figure in socicty-as the author Of
a play-also halls from the Old Domin-
ion, and Mrs Willard Ward, ot Madi-
son occasionally gives such delightful
receptions, is the daughter of the Late
Judge Erskine, OF Alabama. 1t her
house the representatives OF Southern
families are usually met. Miss Blsland,
a friend Of Miss Ward, dates back her
family traditions to tie last Spanish
Governor Of Louisiana. York Let

! This time Bowers S neWmGde enemy
was OF another stamp OF man. He knew
OF the Hamrick matter, but few month:
ago settled. So last October he went tt
the county seat and there gave to the
! solicitor on 4 grand iuryman the infor
nation tilat Bowers was violating thG
statute 3y unlawfully living with a wo
man. and that the woman had also VIC
lated t:.a law IN committing bigamy.
Now !.erc WAS = situation. Bowers
and lis wife was arrested. and Senator
Elias, 4 ?avrcr OF repute in al! that re
gion. w.:s sought to defend them. The
husband, Who lad given bond for his
appearance at court, rode many miles
after Lawyer Elias" and told him the
whole s,ory.
TIE LAWYER, man OF culture, was
astonishel at the story thus unrolled
before his eyes Court met and the
lawyer used ell his eloqUence and per-
suasiyeness. He told the whole story
of the deserted wife, the long vigil OF
love, ire swing up Of the first husband
for dead, the remarriage, the return OF
the long lost husband, the verbal agree
ment that lie should return to the far
northwest and al remain as it was.
The narrative had its effect upon the
rudest mind: but the law had technical
ly, uD?irowingly been violated; it must
be technically enforced. SO there was a
technical verdict Of guilty, witha recon-
mendation to the mercy OF the court if
the parties lived separate and apart.
This vas Lawyer Eliass chance, his
opportunity; he seized it. He told Bow
ers that he and his wife had best go out
of that neighborhood, and that they
might live together; that the verdict was
only technical, and the Judgment mere
form, and that in the future the law
would not again disturb them.
They acted on the suggestion, re-
moved to Macon county, and now live
there at peace with all the world. Only
q few weeks ago the son was married,
and in the spring the girl will become a
bride
SO Senator Elias told the story, true
story in all particulars, which has in it
all the elements Of the fanciful and the
unreal, and is yet just as true as the fact,
known of all men, that the great peaks
of the Blue Ridge raise themselves sky
ward in Western North Carolina.

ing. however. She made call on the
newly ly-made wife of the Secretary of the
Interior. The servant ushered her into
salon, where a stately person. in sombre
raiment and Of austere mlen received
her. Alter the usual exchange Of social
amenities the visitor glanced around ex-
pcctantly, as if looking for some one;
then turning to the hostess, she said:

bride.

The brief story of the relief OF the
British ship Baron Blantyrc by the
steamship Baltimore condenses enough
of incident to furnish Clark Russell or
some other skillful writer of sea stories
the basis for thrilling narrative. What
could be more narrowing than for star7-
ing men TO see, as the crew OF the
Blantyre did, their signal of distress un-
needed by 4 passing vessel except so far
as to drop provisions overheard, which
the furnishing men were TOO weak and
feeble to secure, being compelled to see
them floating away on the waves beyond
all hope OF reach? III the height OF

A Basket Social.

On Friday evening, Dec. 23, basket
social will be held in the new school house
under the auspices Of the ladies Of the NJ. E.
church Of Bottineau.
A word Of explanation may not be out Of
place. To begin with, each ladyis supposed
to take with her & basket containing enough
Of the good things of life for Two. The bas-
ket may be trimmed and decorated or left
plain according to individual tastes. The
baskets will then be put up at auction and
sold to the highest bidder who will find in
or on the basket o slip Of paper containing
the name Of the lady who brought it. When
all are sold, supper begins, each lady eating
with the gentleman who bought her basket.
Tea will also be dispensed. The programme
includes singing, addresses and recitations,
besides other entertainments, best appreciat
ed when taken part in. All are given q
hearty invitation. By order Of

Dear Sir:-After long wear
isome (though pleasantly journey. We arrived
at our destination and had scarcely stepped
from the car until we were met by -
The scene will not try to describe ~ ev-
cry one knows what it is to meet dear friends
from whom We were parted. and who are
dear to us by the ties Of nature.
After leaving Bottineau, the weather grad
ually grew warmer until We reached Chicago.
1t just seemed like summer there although
the sun did not shine. may tell you here
that we have not seen the sun since we left
Bot,ineau. and no appearance, At present, Of
ever seeing it until we return to Bottineau.
After leaving Chicago, 1t started to rain and
continued for two days and nights, and then
changed to snow and has been showing ever
since. You may imagine the state Of the
roads, after having ten or twelve inches Of
snow, then two days steady rain and then
snow again. The people here do not seem to
think much about it, but wade arouul through
mud and snow nearly up to the knees, just
as if it were an everyday occurrence.
While conversing with gentleman, yestsr-
day, made the remark t! .: would not take
q gift Of the best farm they had, and be COM
PEELED to live in such o country. This nat
urally brought tho queaion "wbyf' / then
asked him if the best farm they had would
pay running expenses if they hired the work
done, not counting any thing for interest on
money invested in the farm! He frankly
admitted that it would not. asked him II
that was not enough to convince him that the
country was overdone, but still he could not
think so but thought that they could do the
work without paying for It. (surely igpor-
ance is bliss.) cannot see why the people
stay in such place while Uncle Sam offers
every o2e 48O acres of the best land they
can find, 320 acres Of which is free gift and
the remaining lGo only sl.25 per acre.
This is tho greatest place for young peo-
pie that ever saw. The farms are small
and every one has family Of from ten to
fifteen. If some of them could be made to
believe that there is any place better than
their own and be induced to como out west,
it would be much to their own advantage,
and also to those who are left behind ~ it
would Leave them more room.
The soil Is Of excellent quality, but like
all other old settlements, is oyerdone. In the
first place it costs from $40 to $50 per acre
and even then the yield will not pay the sx-
pense of cultivation; the Golden West has so
reduced tae price Of grain and stock. Un-
til lately. they used to find . market for
stock in the west, but now it is reversed; the
farmer in the west can raise stock and grain
and ship it here cheaper than It can possibly
be done here.
